Called 'orchestrated objective reduction' ('Orch OR'), it suggests consciousness arises from quantum vibrations in protein polymers called microtubules inside the brain's neurons, vibrations which interfere, 'collapse' and resonate across scale, control neuronal firings, generate consciousness, and connect ultimately to 'deeper order' ripples in spacetime geometry. Consciousness is more like music than computation. | |

| | | | | These days, I often need to remind myself that, as an undergrad, grad student, postdoc, or professor, I've now been doing quantum computing research for a quarter-century---i.e., well over half of the subject's existence. As a direct result, when I feel completely jaded about a new development in QC, it might actually be exciting. When... | |

| | | | | Dan Faggella recorded an unusual podcast with me that's now online. He introduces me as a "quantum physicist," which is something that I never call myself (I'm a theoretical computer scientist) but have sort of given up on not being called by others. But the ensuing 85-minute conversation has virtually nothing to do with physics,... | |
